May I insert that this means any university library Willing to loan a 
particular book. I saw some good art books in the catalog of SMU but the copies of 
those books I recieved through my public library here in Mesquite, came from 
universities out of town. Go figure.

But in the past I have recived 150 year old books on the O'Shaughnessy's 
written by John O'Donovan, through interlibrary loan. And a new 7 vol set of The 
Four Master's "Annals of Ireland." 

By inter library loan and Kinko's I now own more than 3/4 of the early Irish 
historical annals (and many books on other subjects.)  I punch, cover, and 
bind the xerox copies into books.

It is my understanding that as long as I do the xerox copy work myself and do 
not try to make further copies of my copies for sale to others, I may copy 
any or all of a book for my personal study.
